Safety
3.6 Duty of care 
The safety of the bicycle can only be assured if all the 
necessary measures are taken.
3.6.1 User 
The user has the duty of care and responsibility for 
scheduling these measures and checking that they are 
implemented. 
The user:
• makes these operating instructions available to the 
rider for the duration of use of the bicycle. If 
necessary, he translates the operating instructions 
into a language which the rider understands.
• familiarises the rider with the functions of the bicycle 
before the first ride. Only riders who have received 
instruction must be allowed to ride the bicycle.
• instructs the rider on proper use and the wearing of 
personal protective equipment.
• employs specialist staff only for maintenance and 
repair of the bicycle.
The printed EC declaration of conformity in the 
appendix is valid as long as the bicycle remains in 
original condition. As soon as the user makes any 
relevant modifications or additions, he legally 
becomes the manufacturer. He must independently 
guarantee compliance with the EC directives again in 
order to: 
• circulate the bicycle again,
• apply the CE marking and
• avoid compromising occupational safety.
